United States of Venezuela

This remained the official name until 1953, when the constitution of that year renamed it the Republic of Venezuela.Because of long-running territorial dispute between the United States of Venezuela and the United Kingdom over the Essequibo region, several countries called for an international court of justice to settle the matter, which was held in Paris in 1899, and ruled in the UK's favour.From 1900 to 1905, Venezuela participated in the Joint Committee of the British-Venezuelan Border for the final demarcation between the two countries, which was signed in September 1907.In 1932, Juan Vicente Gómez agreed a point on the summit of Mount Roraima as the three-way boundary between Brazil, British Guiana and Venezuela.In 1941 President Eleazar López Contreras and the Colombian President signed the Venezuela–Colombia Boundary Treaty of 1941, the border treaty between the two countries, which ceded 108,000 square kilometres (42,000 square miles) of territory to Colombia.
